Description: Strathclyde University acquired the former Maternity Hospital, Rottenrow, in Autumn 2001 and a decision was taken to create the Rottenrow Gardens on the site. The gardens feature a ‘Monument to Maternity’, a seven-metre high stainless steel sculpture in the form of a giant nappy pin. The piece had previously been exhibited in New York.
